Well, it seems we're moving! Not far, just a few doors down, actually. We've been looking to relocate to a bigger place far awhile now. Ideally we'd like a house, but we haven't had any luck. Now this housing market has proven to be a bit of a boon for some of us since it's forced down the rents for several properties. However, they still require first/last month's rent, a pet deposit (usually per pet) and a security deposit which can add up to quite a bit. So, needless to say although I've saved, I haven't saved quite that much.
So, this works out well for us. Not only is it $75 cheaper than where we are now, we'll mostly likely be able to at least downgrade the size of our storage unit which equals less rent on THAT. Plus, we don't have to pay any additional fees since we're still in the same building and complex. Easier to haul our stuff over too.
This whole thing isn't going to be happening until May sometime, so we still have some time. First comes the unpleasant part: packing. The thing I hate the most about moving is all the packing and stuff. At least with it being a few doors down, I can basically toss stuff in a box and walk it over. It's on the second floor, yes but I think as long as I'm careful, it can be done.
There's this whole drama thing going on at mom's work. The lady who took over mom's position as medical secretary for a particular doctor is a really nice lady. She's pretty fun and is cool to hang round with, which we've done a few times outside of work. However, the girl who sits next to her, "K" is being a bit... troublesome. For instance, you're only allowed a half hour for lunch if you're going to be away from your desk. K likes to take an hour and sometimes MORE for lunch. She goes with some friends of hers and does who the hell knows what, meanwhile the aforementioned "P" has to try to cover her phones as well as K's phones.
I'm trying to be neutral in all of this, since I like both parties involved with this whole mess, but then today K posted something on her Facebook profile basically calling P out. No names were named, but it was obvious what she was referring to. Funny thing is, P is on K's Facebook profile and can see what she wrote. Hmmm...
On another front, I have to try to figure out why I'm so low on PTO time when I haven't taken off a lot of time to BE low. This is a concern because I want to take a couple of days off for the move as well as both mom's and mine birthdays to go to Disney. *ker sigh*
